Maxine Everett

Maxine left this earth on September 16, 2011 and stepped into heaven to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and her beloved husband of 54 years, Richard (Dick) Everett. She was born on February 3, 1921, and she came to live in Corsicana at three weeks of age. All of her education was completed in Corsicana. Maxine worked after graduation in the superintendent's office where she met and later married Dick. She has lived in Corsicana all but five years of her life which was spent at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio with her husband, Dick, during and for a few months after WWII. While at Randolph AFB, both of their daughters, Donna and Sandy were born. At the conclusion of WWII, the family moved back to Corsicana. Maxine was employed by Whitesell Brick and Lumber Company before opening Everett's Antique Shop on West 2nd Avenue. She owned and operated the antique shop for approximately 45 years. She enjoyed reading and learning about antique furniture; however, her real interest and speciality was glassware. More than anything, she loved her family and friends beyond words. She has so much enjoyment in seeing and talking to the many people who came to the antique shop and her fellow "antiquers." The shop was kept in the family when purchased by Donna and son in law Jon Ed Ingham when Maxine retired. Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, R.P. Bates and Nannie Trammell Bates and her dearly loved husband, Dick Everett. She is survived by daughters, Donna and son in law, Jon Ed Ingham and Sandra Lewis; grandchildren Aimee Kasprzyk and husband David, Jon Ingham and wife Candice, Lee Lewis and wife Ellen. Maxine has 6 great grandchildren, Sarah Kasprzyk, Anna Kasprzyk, Carter Wells, Issac Ingham, Luke Lewis and Reid Lewis. She is also survived by nieces Judy Binion, and Janice Sayers and nephew Gary Kutilek and their families. Maxine was a member of First United Methodist Church sine 1952. She loved people, and people loved her. The last few years of her life were spent as a resident of Heritage Oaks Retirement Village. The family wishes to express sincerer and heartfelt appreciation to all of her caretakers and employees of HORV for the healthcare and genuine concern shown to Maxine. Also many thanks go to Hand In Hand Hospice for their wonderful care and love given to our mother. Visitaion will be 6-8pm Sunday, September 18, 2011 at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home.
